Snack Attack

Snack Attack is an animated action blockbuster written and directed by Andrew Cadelago from 2012.

The heroine is a tiny little old lady, who goes through a struggle with a vending machine to get the last little box of cookies. When she sits on a bench next to a teenager, he eats her cookies (at least we think). But things aren't always as they seem.

In my opinion, this is a bittersweet little film and well worth the five minutes needed to watch it. I can recommend it to anyone who also likes cookies.

The film uses high angle shots of the old lady to make her appear powerful and heroic. The full shots are used to show that there is no one to save the teenager from the old bully. The animation is fluid, better than all Disney films, and the characters look super realistic.

Snack Attack is a short and no dialogue film. The film is about an old lady who buys sweets and then fights with a young man over them before getting on the train. There are two things I find wonderful about this film. The first is the sound effects and the movements that go with them. There is no dialogue in this film, but each movement is clear and easy to understand. Also, the sound effects that go with it are well used, and the sounds of eating sweets and flipping through newspapers are particularly easy to understand. The second is music. The use of appropriate music for each scene makes for a better production. The music is also changed well to match the scene transitions, making it easy to understand the development of the film. I recommend this film because throughout the film, you can enjoy each movement along with the sound effects and music, and at the end, you can chuckle at the funny side of the old lady.

The story is familiar. But it works in splendid manner. For each detail of animation. For the predactibility or for humor. For the end. And for explanation. An old lady. A teenager. Four cookies. And a train station. Enough for a real, real beautiful short animation.

Truly a wonderful film. From the gripping plot, to the fluid animation that surpasses even the most famous Disney movies. The movie is short of great, really, in all my life and career of being a movie critic, have I never seen such an amazing piece of art. Quentin Tarantino's films don't even come close to this masterpiece.

Sadly I've heard of this kind of story so many times that it completely ruined the punchline. The predictability detracts massively from the short. Otherwise I would have really liked It.
